The object of myinventien is to provide a 1 boicot this character `with joints which are rigid, 'Wear-r`esisting`,` and in which the joined members yare held against separation and `crushing at the joints between the memi from `iny invention asdeiined `in the appended claims. te

In `the joints above' described, l have shown "a "double lacing, but` if, desired, any of the joints may be forrnedfo'f a single lac'- ing; such as shown in Fig; 9.'

Referring to Fi,

above described, `and on the inside byfa seeond similar angle strip 19, the angle strips j ure 10 in ivhiehl have jilliistrated ,a Inodiiicationot invention, e `the joint is reenforced on the outside by; an `angle `strip 14;, as in the 'preferred form portions of the box v metal lacings 20.

:cent members and metal lacing 40 being secured together and to the marginal members by means et .The advanta es of my invention result from the provision of a joint between two angularly disposed members having a wire reenforce interlaced through both members extending across the joint on both faces of both members and shaped to lie against both sides of said members.

. A further advantage results from the provision of sheet metal reenforces laced to the mem-bers at the joints to resist crushing strains and also to prevent the tearing out of the wire laces. j

Having now fully described my invention,

` whatv I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is: y

l. A reenforced joint between two members comprising a metal strip overlapping both members and the joint and metal lacing confining. the strip in position.

'across the joint, and a metal strip overlappingthe joint and conned between the lacing and the adjacent marginal portions of ,both members.

A reenforced joint between adjacent members arranged in vangular relation to eachother comprising an angle strip contacting with adjacent margins of adjaextending through both members and back and forth across the joint.

5.. A reenforced joint between two members comprising la metal strip overlying both members andthe joint between them, and metal lacing extending` through both mem- 'bers yand repeatedly back and forth across thel joint andover both sides of the adjacent marginal portions of both members.

5 6. A reenforced joint between two membersA comprising metal lacing extending through both members and repeatedly back and forth across the joint and over both sides of the adjacent marginal portions of both members, and metal strips extending on opposite' sides of said members, each strip .overlapping the joint and confined against said members. by the lacing on the corresponding side thereof. 4

7. A reenforced joint between two angularly disposed members comprising two lmetal anglestrips each overlapping the joint ,and the adjacent marginal portions of` said members, onestrip locatedon the inside, and the other on the outside, of said angle,

and metal lacing holding the strips in position.

8. A reenforced joint between two members extending at an angle to each other formed of back and forth passes of metal lacing passing' through both members a plurality of times, and a metal reinforce held in position at the joint by the lacing.

9. A reenforced joint between two members extending at an angle to each other formed of back and forth passes of metal lacing passing through both members a plurality of times,` and an angular metal reinforce at the joint held in position by the lacing.

l0. A reenforced joint between two members extending at an angle to each other formed of back and forth passes ofi metal lacing passing through both members a plurality of times, and metal reinforces on the opposite sides of both members on both sides of the oint held in position by the lacing.

ll. A box having a bottom, side and end members, some of the joints between said members being reenforced by means of an angle member, and a wire lacing passing back and forth across said reinforce and through the box members.

l2. A box having cardboard bottom, side Aand end members connected to each other at the junctions of said members, some of the joints being reenforced by an Vangle member overlapping the ends of the joined members on the exterior of the box, and a wire lacing passing over and through said members.

13. A box having cardboard bottom, side and end members connected to each other at the junctions of said members, some of the joints being rcenforced by an angle member overlapping the ends of the joined members on the exterior of the box, a metal reinforcing strip near the end of each member at the reenforced joints and on the insideof the box, and a wire lacing passing back and forth across the reenforced joints Vand through both members, said lacings securing the joined members to each other and securing the reinforces in position.

le. A paper box having a bottom, side and end members secured to each other by reenforced joints, said joints being formed of back and forth passes of wire lacings passing through the members near the ends and over the joint, each joint having an angular reinforcing strip on the outside of the box under the several passes of the laces, and two metal strips at each joint lying over some of the passes of the lacing and under the other passes.

ln testimony of which invention` I have hereunto set my hand, at Philada., Penna.. on this 16th day of March, 1921.
